My favourite fact about Star Trek TOS is that, because automatic doors weren’t invented yet, the ‘automatic doors’ in TOS were really just some guy yanking a rope and pulley system to make them slide open. Problem was the person was far enough away that they couldn’t see when exactly the doors needed to be open, and relied on a signal from somebody just off set. The actors, however, had to act as if they were 100% confident the doors were going to open at the exact time and moment despite the fact that they occasionally did not which lead to multiple occasions in which the actors walked directly into the doors while they were opening.

Petition for Leonard McCoy to have a good day
thinking abt how the only reason they brought Chekov onto Star Trek TOS was to get more of the teenage girl demographic to watch their show so they specifically got a guy that looked like Davy Jones, that little twink from the Monkees

McCoy / Having A Good Day
i enjoyed that the only person who was naked onscreen in the entirety that was star trek beyond was Captain James T. Kirk,, which is p much how the original series worked too
Can I just say I really love how colorful the Star Trek Beyond posters are? And I love that they pay homage to the original movie posters? I feel like it was a visual cue that they were trying to return to the movies’ original campy feel and I think this movie was a lot closer to it’s roots than the other two by far, and this movie just completely felt different than the first two. It triggered a much larger nostalgia reaction this time around and while it was still action packed, it just felt like one of the original movies and aaah I just loved this one so much. It’s easily my favorite of the reboots.
Things that are Jim Kirk’s fault
A comprehensive list by Doctor Leonard McCoy
- space
- aliens
- tribbles
- fake synthesizer food
- Spock’s Vulcan sass
- black holes
- alien diseases
- no mint juleps in space
- everything
My must protest, Doctor. My sass is completely my own, but the rest of this list is quite accurate.
